Springboks could replace Siya Kolisi as captain – Erasmus

South Africa’s double World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi may not lead the side this year despite playing excellent rugby for French club Racing 92, coach Rassie Erasmus stated on Tuesday. Erasmus left his role as director of rugby to return as head coach of the Springboks ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia and has hinted that some of the ‘old guard’ will be phased out over the next few seasons. Eighteen of the Springboks’ 33 players in last year’s World Cup squad were over the age of 30, including Kolisi, who will turn 33 in June. Kolisi […]

OG Anunoby lifts Knicks to blowout win over 76ers in return

What a difference a player makes – and, specifically, OG Anunoby for the New York Knicks. After scoring the fewest points in an NBA match in over three years without him Sunday in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers here at Madison Square Garden, Anunoby returned from a several-week absence with an elbow injury to help deliver a 106-79 victory over their rivals down Interstate 95.

Jackson Merrill to join Padres for opener in Korea, Shildt says

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt stopped just short of declaring that shortstop prospect Jackson Merrill has already locked down an everyday role in his outfield, even though it has become fairly obvious throughout camp. All he would say Tuesday is that the 20-year-old shortstop-turned-center fielder will be on the Padres’ season-opening trip to South Korea. “He’s earned his way on the plane,” Shildt said shortly after watching Merrill hit an opposite-field home run off All-Star starter Zac Gallen. “He’s earned what’s coming after the plane.” The Padres started spring training with only two outfielders on their 40-man roster and promised to […]

Horner: ‘No tension’ with Verstappen but no one bigger than team

Christian Horner stated he would not stand in the way of Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull if he prefers to do so, but he remains confident the reigning champion will stay at the team beyond the end of this year. Despite winning the opening two rounds of the season, divisions and controversy within Red Bull have led to suggestions that Verstappen, who has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, could leave the team at the end of the year. A rift appeared within Red Bull last week after the team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH, cleared Horner of allegations of inappropriate […]

Al Nassr, Ronaldo out of ACL after shootout loss to Al-Ain

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr crashed out of the Asian Champions League in the quarterfinals after the Saudi Pro League side lost 3-1 on penalties to Al-Ain in a pulsating game on Monday. Al Nassr overturned a 1-0 first leg deficit to win 4-3 on Monday but with the contest ending 4-4 on aggregate, the players headed into a shootout from which Al-Ain prevailed. Foreign imports Miroslav Brozovic, Alex Telles and Otavio all failed to score from the spot for Al Nassr as the side from the United Arab Emirates advanced to the semifinals, where they will face either Al Hilal or Al Ittihad — both from Saudi Arabia — next month. Al-Ain goalkeeper Khalid Eisa made […]

Joshua takes out Ngannou with crushing KO finish in Round 2

Anthony Joshua scored a spectacular knockout of Francis Ngannou in Round 2 of their heavyweight fight Friday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a right hand that landed clean on the former UFC heavyweight champion’s chin and rendered him unconscious. After Ngannou regained his senses, ringside officials administered oxygen to the 37-year-old, who was boxing for just the second time. England’s Joshua, 34, scored a knockdown in the opening round with a right hand, and Ngannou appeared to be unsteady after he beat the count. Joshua produced another knockdown in Round 2, an equilibrium shot that connected on Ngannou’s left ear. […]

Verstappen wins again, skirting questions of Red Bull future

After comfortably winning the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix on Saturday, Max Verstappen and Red Bull are cruising toward another championship season. Both, however, are refusing to be the first to blink in the deepening mystery regarding the three-time Formula One world champion’s future beyond 2024. The sort of victory witnessed at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Saturday night is what we’ve come to expect from this dominant Red Bull outfit. Verstappen led from pole, only briefly dropping to second after an early Safety Car, and was so far out in front that he was turning down his engine setting late on. It was utterly […]
